GIKO N95 Respirator Masks - 15Pcs NIOSH Certified Safety Masks Cup Particulate Respirator Mask with Breathing Valve for Adult, Men, Women, White

Fitness is good easy to put on. Good breathing.

Most important feature is the valve, which makes it easy to exhale but closes when inhaling. Mask fits snugly and includes a metal clip that bends to fit over your nose. I am fully confident it meets N95 standards for inhaling, which is the thing I care most about since most people don't wear anything on public transportation. Only drawback is they don't fold flat.

Price point was better than the more well known brands. Fine quality for a dust mask to use in the shop.

Keeping a supply on hand is a great idea, so happens they came in handy during the recent conflagration here in LA.

I bought these N95 masks for use in case of smoke or particulate matter in the air. They aren’t designed to protect anyone but the person wearing the mask. A central release valve makes exhaling easier. They are well-made, fit me well—I am a woman with a small face. In the distant past, the HEPA filter masks, used for a variety of dusty industrial applications, made by 3M, were a poor fit for my face. I would have to cinch the mask tightly to get a good seal, which cut into the bridge of my nose. More enlightened design has gone into both the N95 and some of the HEPA filter masks, making them reasonably comfortable for women to wear. Sahara desert sand is blowing through just now, in Austin, Texas, making the use of either wraparound sunglasses or goggles good ideas for eye protection, and depending on the severity of exposure—dust, smoke, etc.—I am happy to have both the N95 masks, and a HEPA filter mask, available. The N95 would be far more comfortable during the extreme heat wave. I hope conditions don’t require using the HEPA a filter mask—but I have it, just in case. In a City of nearly a million people, an evacuation could take a long time.

Masks work well around workshop, chicken coop, hay. Keeps dust out and glasses don't fog up.

I like the ability to breathe out of the mask and then the vent closes afterwards. It does a great job of filtering the sheet rock and insulation particles. Looking at the mask after working proves how I’m protecting my lungs from the particles. Yuck! 🤢

I bought these masks thinking the straps would be comfortable for use while flying a long distance. My husband and I find the straps that go over the ears on other masks become very uncomfortable if worn for more than an hour. While these masks appear well made, the straps are way too small/tight and are likely only suitable for an adult with a very small head or a child. Waste of money for us.
